Hi Everyone,
Been a memeber for a while but haven't posted as been looking for a project,
In march I finally bought a GT550 which was going to be a cafe-racer'esque build but the bike turned out to be a dog so had to get rid and am back on my trusty SV650.
Still on the lookout for something late 70's/80's which I can do some work to but funds are holding me back a bit!
Thanks
Steve

Hi Stevo, assuming the GT550 was a Kwaka I think you are better off with the SV650. The GT550 was a good work bike but not IMO an obvious contender for cafe-racer but then thinking out of the box is what owning and moding older bikes is all about. Main thing is to have a bit of fun and seek inspiration from the bike pictures and build threads here.

i totally thought of the suzuki.. I had totally forgotten the Suzuki, 200 yes, 250 yes, 380 yes, 750 yes, 550 no. Must be the Kawasaki H1 shaped blind spot in my memory.
